AUDITION – QUARTET THURSDAY 9TH JULY 7:30PM AT THEATRE
Barbara
Crellin is holding an audition for the play Quartet by Ronald Harwood on
Thursday 9th July 2015 7:30pm. The cast is four people of retirement
age. Barbara intends to present the play this coming Autumn.
Quartet is a comedy
play about aging opera singers set in a retirement home for musicians. Three
elderly former opera singers, Reginald, Cissy and Wilfred, who often worked
together, are sitting on the terrace. They are about to be joined by newcomer
Jean, a major star in her day and to whom Reginald was unhappily married. A
gala concert is shortly to take place at the retirement home to celebrate the birthday
of renowned Italian opera composer Giuseppe Verdi. Three of the four are
keen to recreate the third act quartet from Rigoletto and one isn't !
Reginald - quiet,
serious
Wilfred - jovial,
talks about sex a lot
Cissy - Sweet,
slightly daffy
Jean - rather a
diva - has been a great soprano.
Barbara is
keen to hear as many potential actors as possible. If in doubt, come, come
along and read the play. You can phone Barbara with any questions about the
play and audition on 01606 41461.

COMMUNITY MOSAIC PROJECT
After much hard work by
Jan Johnson and some fantastic advice from Pam Beddard, a funding application
was submitted to ACE (Arts Council England) at the start of June. ACE have
confirmed that the application fits their eligibility criteria and a decision
as to whether we will receive a grant should be received within six weeks of
the application. Some work has been done on a trial area of mosaic for planning
purposes, but the serious work will start in mid-July.
